Obama and the Reagan Doctrine

• That American policy in Iraq has seamlessly shifted in approach from the Bush doctrine to the Reagan doctrine is just more proof of its constant and total success, which of course means Barack Obama is a huge liar.

and GWAR a bit much, so…

I was enjoying gay homo sex, cashing welfare checks,
Such a liberal…
Fannie Mae gave me ten houses for free
’cause I said I was a black criminaaal
I destroyed the economy
I should have listened to Ruppert, Gary
Ohh..

I paid no money down (my skin was brown)
My candidate, a terrorist
Never had a job, worshiped Ahmadinejad
Was sticking pictures of Jesus in jars of piss
Was kissing abortionists
’til I saw you on the Freepers’ mailing list, oh

Girl, you’re ev’ry wingnut in the world to me
You’re my fantasy, you make me feel like Rich Lowry
Girl, you’re ev’ry wingnut in the world to me
You’re ev’rything I need, you make me forget I’m a commie, oh

Ev’rything wing, ev’rything nut
That’s what you are
So dump Virgin Ben and Gaynor, and come with
This fifth-columnist moonbat re-tarrrrd
I’ve finally found the exorcist
To drive out the evil spirits, Islamist and socialist, oh

Girl, you’re ev’ry wingnut in the world to me
You’re so sexy, you make me feel like Rich Lowry
Girl, you’re ev’ry wingnut in the world to me
You’re ev’rything I need, you and your apostrophe, oh

Girl, you’re ev’ry wingnut in the world to me
You’re my fantasy, the cure for my Bush Derangement Disease
Girl, you’re ev’ry wingnut in the world to me
I won’t read no Michael Berube, just Marie and Alan Keyes, oh

Some of Jonah’s fanboys are weighing in on the Red Dawn controversy:

Red Dawn Email

[Jonah Goldberg]

Lots and lots came in overnight in response to my post. A smattering:

The Soviets in Red Dawn also executed many Americans for the purpose of drawing out the Wolverines. Does Plotz’s pathetic pandering imply that we are killing innocents in Iraq? Also, did the Soviets in Red Dawn shut down the American “rape-rooms” and capture the government officials who gassed the Nebraskans (obviously I could go on – what a pathetic attempt by Plotz to try to compare our invasion of Iraq with the Soviet aggression imagined in the movie or real in Afghanistan). Last, why doesn’t McCain bring up Saddam’s atrocities every time Obama says it was a mistake to invade. McCain should simply ask Obama if he would prefer if the torture and rape rooms were still open for business. Galling.

Keep up the good work.

And:

I could either write a lengthy, night owl rebuttal to Plotz’s piece, or grab a cold one and shout “WOLVERINES!” from my roofdeck. Ah, choices.

And:

I watch Red Dawn every once in a while. I don’t know if you recall the rage at the movie from the left at the time. It is no wonder they are back to have another shot at it. I was a bit disappointed in the ending because I thought they wimped out. Remember the narrator says “The war ended as wars always do.” Well, I’m a surgeon and we have a saying too. “Bleeding always stops.” The implications are the same. We assume that America won the war but it is never stated. I always felt that they shied away from being thought too patriotic and “jingoistic” at Hollywood cocktail parties. Still, it is pretty good and head and shoulders over anything since “Rules of Engagement.”

[Update: Lots of readers (rightly) object to the suggestion the Americans might not have won. From a reader: “The movie makers clearly implied we won by virtue of the existence of the resistance memorial.”

The conservative “movement” has now been reduced to sad nostalgia for second-rate wankfest action flicks from the ’80s. Look on your works, Bill Buckley, and despair.

Excellent:

How can anyone who actually follows this stuff, who reads Freddoso, Kurtz, and scores of other reliable sources of information, conclude that Obama is not some wild-eyed radical?

And does anyone who actually follows this stuff and reads the Weekly World News and scores of other reliable sources of information conclude that the Bat Boy hasn’t escaped???!!!?!?11///11?!

Red Dawn Revisited

[Jonah Goldberg]

My old friend Dave Plotz’s piece on Red Dawn (Kathryn linked below) is close to a parody of the sort of liberal moral equivalence that made so many liberals useless in the late stages of the Cold War. […]

I can understand why some people don’t think Red Dawn holds up well. I disagree. But if you don’t think it holds up well, that’s no reason to stand it up artificially so it can be your ideological strawman.

Beyond parody, my friends.

Put the Gloves Back On

• Has anyone else ever noticed that Republican politicians speak in a sort of code whose subtext communicates certain tribal messages about race, religion and regionalism, which – if taken to their logical extreme – could poison political discourse or even inspire politically motivated acts of violence? Who knew?

Brad adds: This is remarkable. I can’t remember seeing anyone inside Wingnut Nation ever give up the game like this:

The McCain campaign knows that Obama isn’t a Muslim or a terrorist, but they’re willing to help a certain kind of voter think he is. Just the way certain South Carolinians in 2000 were allowed to think that McCain’s adopted daughter from Bangladesh was his illegitimate black child.

Could Kathleen Parker be having her Terri Schiavo moment? Hey John, do you think you could help us with the deprogramming?

• Well, maybe not. I probably should lay off the Merlot cognac.

You know, just because the thing I saw wasn’t there doesn’t mean there wasn’t something there that I didn’t see.

ABOVE: Dennis Prager Plays the
Hoop-Dee-Doo Polka

Why is Doug Feith smiling? Because he is no longer officially the “the fucking stupidest guy on the face of the earth.” Dennis Prager is:

Q: Critics of the war in Iraq argue that prior to the invasion of Iraq, America had never attacked a country that had no plans to attack it. How then do you explain the Korean War?

On my radio show, I have asked this question of some of the most celebrated names among liberal intellectuals, and they had little or nothing to say.

No doubt, they had little or nothing to say because their jaws had hit the floor in disbelief and they were physically unable to say anything at all.

That is too bad because America invaded a country that had absolutely no intention, let alone ability, to attack the United States. The United States attacked Korea — and sacrificed over 30,000 American lives — solely in order to prevent Korea from becoming a totalitarian Communist state. We succeeded in the southern half, and over 50 years later, North Korea remains essentially a gigantic concentration camp.

Probably even Gary Ruppert knows that entering South Korea at the request of its government to defend it from invading North Koreans isn’t an invasion. Just as kissing your mother isn’t a sexual assault.

But, hey, Dennis, here’s a better example for you to use next time you want to play stump the stupid liberals on your radio show: “How come the United States invaded the moon even though the moon men had no plans to attack the United States? How come? Huh? Huh??”
